Basic Auth per Step

Description

Each step can include HTTP Basic authentication credentials.

Motivation

Some APIs require distinct credentials for individual endpoints. Configuring authentication per step ensures flexibility.

Example

Copy{
  "steps": [
    {
      "title": "Get data",
      "method": "GET",
      "url": "https://api.example.com/private",
      "basic_auth": {"user": "user", "pass": "pass"}
    }
  ]
}

Questions & Answers

Q: Are credentials stored securely?
A: They are kept in your workspace database. Use environment variables for sensitive data.

Comments

Provide credentials only for steps that require them.

Other Uses
